Lot 2921
1838 Capped Bust Half Dollar. NGC graded MS-61. Lovely blue and golden toning. A few light contact marks on Liberty's chin area. A frosty, satiny toned coin with residual cartwheel luster on both sides. Nicely struck as well, without the usual weakness on the stars. This short-lived Type was introduced in 1836, then modified (to switch from 50 CENTS to HALF DOL.) in 1838, and finally surplanted by the seated Liberty mofif partway into 1839 (PCGS # 6177) .
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,300.
Ex Jules Reiver Collection.
